Exhibit 10.12
AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this
"AGREEMENT") is made as of January 23, 2003, among DigitalNet Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), DigitalNet, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("DIGITALNET"), DigitalNet Government
Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DigitalNet ("DGS") and Xxxxxx Xxxxx (the "EXECUTIVE").
WHEREAS, the Company, DigitalNet and Executive entered into a
Consulting Agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") as of January 10, 2002 (the
"Initial Date"), whereby the Company engaged Executive as a consultant and
Executive purchased 350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "COMMON
STOCK"), par value $0.001 per share (the "EXECUTIVE STOCK"). Certain definitions
are set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Company, DigitalNet, DGS and Executive desire to amend and
restate the Consulting Agreement to provide for, among other things, the
Executive's employment by the Company and DGS.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE STOCK
1. RESERVED.
2. PURCHASE AND SALE OF EXECUTIVE STOCK.
(a) Upon the Initial Date, Executive purchased, and the
Company sold, 350,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.10 per share.
Executive delivered to the Company a check or wire transfer of funds in the
aggregate amount of $350 and a promissory note in an aggregate principal amount
of $34,650 (the "EXECUTIVE NOTE"). Executive's obligations under the Executive
Note are secured by a pledge of all of the shares of Common Stock purchased
hereunder to the Company and in connection therewith, Executive entered into a
pledge agreement (the "Pledge Agreement").
(b) RESERVED.
(c) In connection with the purchase and sale of the Executive
Stock hereunder, Executive represented and warranted to the Company that:
(i) The Executive Stock acquired by Executive
pursuant to the Consulting Agreement was acquired for Executive's own account
and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of
the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive
Stock will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Executive is an executive officer of the
Company, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks
and benefits of the investment in the Executive Stock.
(iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of
his investment in the Executive Stock for an indefinite period of time because
the Executive Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act and,
therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities
Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
(iv) Executive had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of
Executive Stock and has had full access to such other information concerning the
Company as he has requested.
(v) Executive is a resident of Maryland.
(d) As an inducement to the Company, DigitalNet and DGS to
enter into this Agreement, as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and
agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Stock to Executive nor any
provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment
of the Company or DGS or affect the right of the Company or DGS to terminate
Executive's employment at any time for any reason.
(e) In connection with the Consulting Agreement, Executive
entered into a joinder agreement (the "Joinder Agreement"), pursuant to which
Executive agreed to be bound by the terms of the Stockholders Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Pledge Agreement or
anything herein to the contrary, until the occurrence of a Sale of the Company,
all certificates evidencing shares of Executive Stock shall be held by the
Company for the benefit of Executive and the other holder(s) of Executive Stock.
Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering, the Company
will return the certificates for the Executive Stock to the record holders
thereof.
(g) Concurrently with the execution of the Consulting
Agreement, Executive executed in blank ten stock transfer powers in the form of
EXHIBIT B to the Consulting Agreement (the "STOCK POWERS") with respect to the
Executive Stock and delivered such Stock Powers to the Company. The Stock Powers
authorized the Company to assign, transfer and deliver the shares of Executive
Stock to the appropriate acquiror thereof pursuant to SECTION 3 below, Section 6
of the Stockholders Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, and under no other
circumstances.
(h) In connection with the purchase and sale of the Executive
Stock hereunder, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that this
Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Executive does not and will not
2
conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or
instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to
which Executive is subject.
3. REPURCHASE OPTION.
(a) In the event that Executive ceases to be employed by the
Company and DGS for any reason (the "SEPARATION"), the Executive Stock (whether
held by Executive or one or more of Executive's transferees, other than the
Company) will be subject to repurchase, in each case at the option of the
Company, GTCR Fund VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR") and GTCR
Co-Invest, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with GTCR, the
"INVESTORS" and each, an "INVESTOR"), Xxx X. Xxxxx ("Bajaj") and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
("Xxxxxxxxxx") pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
3(a) (the "REPURCHASE OPTION"). A percentage of the Executive Stock will be
subject to repurchase at the Fair Market Value for such shares, calculated in
accordance with the following schedule (the "FAIR MARKET VALUE SHARES"):
(i) 2.0833% as of the Initial Date;
(ii) 2.0833% on the last day of each full calendar
month beginning with the first full calendar month following the Initial Date,
PROVIDED HOWEVER, that no further shares of Executive Stock will become Fair
Market Value Shares following the Separation; and
(iii) 100% upon a Sale of the Company.
The purchase price for the remaining shares of Executive Stock shall be the
Executive's Original Cost for such shares (the "ORIGINAL COST SHARES").
(b) The Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of
the Original Cost Shares and the Fair Market Value Shares by delivering written
notice (the "REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of the Executive Stock
within 180 days after the Separation. The Repurchase Notice will set forth the
number of Original Cost Shares and Fair Market Value Shares to be acquired from
each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such shares and the time
and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of shares to be
repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from
the shares of Executive Stock held by Executive at the time of delivery of the
Repurchase Notice. If the number of shares of Executive Stock then held by
Executive is less than the total number of shares of Executive Stock which the
Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining shares
elected to be purchased from the other holder(s) of Executive Stock under this
Agreement, pro rata according to the number of shares of Executive Stock held by
such other holder(s) at the time of delivery of such Repurchase Notice
(determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest share). The number of
Original Cost Shares and Fair Market Value Shares to be repurchased hereunder
will be allocated among Executive and the other holders of Executive Stock (if
any) pro rata according to the number of shares of Executive Stock to be
purchased from such person.
(c) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase
all of the Executive Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Option, the Investors,
Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx shall be
3
entitled to exercise the Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the shares
of Executive Stock that the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE
SHARES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there
will be Available Shares, but in any event within 150 days after the Separation,
the Company shall give written notice (the "OPTION NOTICE") to the Investors,
Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx setting forth the number of Available Shares and the
purchase price for the Available Shares. The Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx may
elect to purchase any or all of the Available Shares by giving written notice to
the Company within one month after the Option Notice has been given by the
Company. If the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx elect to purchase an aggregate
number of shares greater than the number of Available Shares, the Available
Shares shall be allocated among the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx based upon
the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each on a fully diluted basis
(excluding, in the case of Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx, Unvested Executive Stock, as
defined in those Senior Management Agreements dated September 7, 2001, among the
Company, DigitalNet and each of Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx, respectively). As soon as
practicable, and in any event within ten days, after the expiration of the
one-month period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of
Executive Stock as to the number of shares being purchased from such holder by
the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx (the "SUPPLEMENTAL REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At
the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to the
holder(s) of Executive Stock, the Company shall also deliver written notice to
the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx setting forth the number of shares the
Investors and Bajaj are entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and
the time and place of the closing of the transaction. The number of Original
Cost Shares and Fair Market Value Shares to be repurchased hereunder shall be
allocated among the Company, the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx pro rata
according to the number of shares of Executive Stock to be purchased by each of
them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx shall
not exercise their Repurchase Option as to the Original Cost Shares pursuant to
this Section 3(c) if the Company has sufficient assets to fully exercise its
Repurchase Option as to the Original Cost Shares but has not exercised such
right.
(d) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Stock
pursuant to the Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the
Company in the Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Repurchase Notice, which date
shall not be more than one month nor less than five days after the delivery of
the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the
Executive Stock to be purchased by it pursuant to the Repurchase Option by first
offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to
the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option,
(A) a check or wire transfer of funds, or (B) a check or wire transfer of funds
for at least one-third of the purchase price, and a subordinated note or notes
payable in two equal annual installments beginning on each of the first and
second anniversary of the closing of such purchase and bearing interest (payable
quarterly) at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL from time to time in the aggregate amount of the remainder of the
purchase price for such shares. The Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx will pay for
the Executive Stock purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of funds. The
Company, the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx will be entitled to receive
customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale
and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed.
4
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, all repurchases of Executive Stock by the Company shall be subject to
applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law and in
the Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements. If any
such restrictions prohibit the repurchase of Executive Stock hereunder which the
Company is otherwise entitled or required to make, the Company may make such
repurchases as soon as it is permitted to do so under such restrictions.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if the Executive delivers the notice of objection described in the
definition of Fair Market Value, or if the Fair Market Value of a Fair Market
Value Share is otherwise determined to be an amount more than 10% greater than
the per share repurchase price for Fair Market Value Shares originally
determined by the Company Board, each of the Company, the Investors, Bajaj and
Xxxxxxxxxx shall have the right to revoke its or their exercise of the
Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Stock elected to be
repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the
holders of the Executive Stock during (i) the thirty-day period beginning on the
date the Company, the Investors, Bajaj and Xxxxxxxxxx receive Executive's
written notice of objection and (ii) the thirty-day period beginning on the date
the Company, the Investors and Bajaj are given written notice that the Fair
Market Value of a Fair Market Value Share was finally determined to be an amount
more than 10% greater than the per share repurchase price for Fair Market Value
Shares originally determined by the Company Board.
(g) Subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 4(b)(ii)
hereof, promptly following the occurrence of Public Offering, the Company shall
use all commercially reasonable efforts to file a Form S-8/S-3 under the
Securities Act in order to enable the Executive Stock to be registered under the
Securities Act and to be resold from time to time by Executive; provided that
after the fifth anniversary of the Initial Date, the Executive may only sell
Executive Stock under such Form S-8/S-3 up to a maximum number of shares of
Executive Stock equal to the greater of (x) in any three month period, an amount
equal to the greater of the amount specified in Rule 144(e)(1) (without regard
to any other restriction under Rule 144) and (y) an amount that could be sold by
Executive pursuant to SECTION 4(b) of this Agreement (without regard to SECTION
4(c) of this Agreement).
(h) The provisions of SECTION 3(a) through SECTION 3(f),
inclusive, shall terminate immediately prior to consummation of a Liquidity
Event (provided that the Liquidity Event is consummated).
4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF EXECUTIVE STOCK.

shares (the "TRANSFER AMOUNT") equal to the lesser of (A) the number of shares
of Fair Market Value Shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of shares of
Executive Stock owned by the Executive, multiplied by a fraction (the "TRANSFER
FRACTION"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock sold
by the Investors and their Affiliates in such Public Sale and the denominator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock held by the Investors and
their Affiliates prior to the Public Sale; PROVIDED THAT, if at the time of a
Public Sale of shares by the Investors, the Executive chooses not to Transfer
the Transfer Amount, the Executive shall retain the right to Transfer an amount
of Executive Stock at a future date equal to the lesser of (x) the number of
Fair Market Value Shares owned by Executive at such future date and (y) the
number of shares of Executive Stock owned by Executive at such future date
multiplied by the Transfer Fraction; PROVIDED FURTHER that any in-kind
distributions of Common Stock by the Investors to their limited partners shall
be deemed to be a Public Sale for purposes of this SECTION 4(b)(iii) or (iv)

Fair Market Value shares owned by Executive and (B) the number of shares of
Executive Stock owned by Executive, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock included by the Investors
and their Affiliates on the Resale Shelf and the denominator of which is the
total number of shares of Common Stock held by the Investors and their
Affiliates prior to the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf. The restrictions
contained in this SECTION 4 will continue to be applicable to the Executive
Stock after any such transfer and the transferees of such Executive Stock have
agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements.
(c) TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS. The restrictions on the

Act and applicable state securities laws is required in connection with such
transfer.

Executive shall serve as a Senior Vice President of the Company and the
President of DGS and shall have such duties, responsibilities and authority as

of Common Stock held by the Executive that have not vested as of a Sale of the

7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
(a) Executive acknowledges that the business of the Employe
and its Affiliates and its continued success depend upon the use and protection
of a large body of confidential and proprietary information, and that he holds a
position of trust and confidence by virtue of which he necessarily possesses,
has access to and, as a consequence of his signing this Agreement, will continue
to possess and have access to, highly valuable, confidential and proprietary
information of the Company and its Affiliates not known to the public in
general, and that it would be improper for him to make use of this information
for the benefit of himself and others. All of such confidential and proprietary
information now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in
this Agreement as "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION." This includes, without limitation,
information relating to the nature and operation of the Business, the persons,
firms and corporations which are customers or active prospects of the Company
and its Affiliates during Executive's employment by the Company or its
Affiliates, the development, transition and transformation plans, methodology
and methods of doing business, strategic, acquisition, marketing and expansion
plans, including plans regarding planned and potential acquisitions and sales,
financial and business plans, employee lists, numbers and location of sales
representatives, new and existing programs and services (and those under
development), prices and terms, customer service, integration processes
requirements, costs of providing service, support and equipment and equipment
maintenance costs of the Company and its Affiliates. Confidential Information
shall not include any information that has become generally known to and
available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive's acts or
omissions.
(b) Disclosure of any Confidential Information shall not be
prohibited if such disclosure is directly pursuant to a valid and existing order
of a court or other governmental body or agency within the United States;
provided, however, that (i) Executive shall first have given prompt notice to
the Company of any such possible or prospective order (or proceeding pursuant to
which any such order may result) and (ii) Executive shall afford the Company a
reasonable opportunity to prevent or limit any such disclosure.
(c) During the Employment Period and at all times thereafter,
Executive will preserve and protect as confidential all of the Confidential
Information known to Executive or at
8
any time in Executive's possession or control. In addition, during the
Employment Period and at all times thereafter, Executive will not disclose to
any unauthorized person or use for his own account any of such Confidential
Information without the Company's written consent. Executive agrees to deliver
to the Company at a Separation, or at any other time the Company may request in
writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other documents (and
copies thereof) containing or otherwise relating to any of the Confidential
Information (including, without limitation, all acquisition prospects, lists and
contact information) which he may then possess or have under his control.
Executive acknowledges that all such memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports
and other documents are and at all times will be and remain the property of the
Company.
(d) Executive will fully comply with any agreement reasonably
required by any of the Company's affiliates, business partners, suppliers or
contractors with respect to the protection of the confidential and proprietary
information of such entities.
8. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. Executive acknowledges that in
the course of his employment with the Company and its Affiliates he will become
familiar with the Confidential Information and that his services will be of
special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company. Executive agrees that
the Company and its Affiliates have a protectable interest in the Confidential
Information acquired by Executive during the course of his employment with the
Company and its Affiliates. Therefore, Executive agrees that:
(a) NONCOMPETITION. So long as Executive is employed or
affiliated with the Company or any of its Affiliates and for an additional (i)
two years thereafter, in the event the Employment Period is terminated as a
result of Executive's resignation or is terminated with Cause or (ii) one year
thereafter, in the event the Employment Period is terminated without Cause (the
"NONCOMPETE PERIOD"), he shall not, anywhere in the United States, directly or
indirectly own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services
for, or in any manner engage in the business or any other business engaged in by
the Company or any of its Affiliates at the time of Separation; provided that in
the event of a termination without Cause, the Company may extend the Noncompete
Period for an additional one-year term by giving notice to Executive ninety (90)
days prior to the end of the then-existing Noncompete Period.
(b) NONSOLICITATION. During the Noncompete Period, Executive
shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to leave the employ
of the Company or such Affiliate, or in any way interfere with the relationship
between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any employee thereof, (ii) hire
any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates within
180 days prior to the time such employee was hired by the Executive, (iii)
induce or attempt to induce any owner of a site location, customer, supplier,
licensee or other business relation of the Company or any of its Affiliates to
cease doing business with the Company or such Affiliaite or in any way interfere
with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business
relation and the Company or any of its Affiliates or (iv) directly or indirectly
acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the
9
business of the Company or any of its Affiliates and with which the Company or
any of its Affiliates has entertained discussions or has requested and received
information relating to the acquisition of such business by the Company or any
of its Affiliates in the two-year period immediately preceding a Separation.
(c) ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of Section 7
or 8 of this Agreement, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that
the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such
circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that
the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive's
services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential
Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate
remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of Section 7 or Section 8 of this Agreement, the Company or
any of its successors or assigns shall, in addition to other rights and remedies
existing in its favor, be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or
other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions
of Section 7 or Section 8 from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) ADDITIONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Executive acknowledges that
the provisions of this Section are in consideration of: (i) employment with the
Company and DGS and (ii) additional good and valuable consideration as set forth
in this Agreement. Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Sections 7 and 8 do not preclude Executive from
earning a livelihood, nor does it unreasonably impose limitations on Executive's
ability to earn a living. In addition, Executive agrees and acknowledges that
the potential harm to the Company of its non-enforcement outweighs any harm to
the Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive
acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful
consideration to the restraints imposed upon the Executive by this Agreement,
and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper
protection of the Confidential Information. Executive expressly acknowledges and
agrees that each and every restraint imposed by this Agreement is reasonable
with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area.
